There's no fixed passing score for the CFA Level 1 exam in India, or anywhere else for that matter. Instead, the CFA Institute uses a Minimum Passing Score (MPS) that varies from exam window to exam window. This means the bar for passing can shift slightly depending on the difficulty of the exam and the performance of the test-takers.
While the exact MPS remains confidential until results are released, historical data and analyst estimates can offer some guidance:
- Recent MPS estimates for CFA Level 1 in India:
- November 2023: 68%
- August 2023: 67%
- May 2023: 69%
- February 2023: 69%
- 12-year average MPS for CFA Level 1
